CSR plc today confirmed that Samsung has selected its industry-leading BlueCore silicon and software stack to bring advanced Bluetooth connectivity to the first Samsung GSM handsets to offer stereo streaming capability.
By incorporating CSR’s BlueCore3-ROM into the SGH-E750 and SGH-E760 handsets, Samsung can not only offer its customers the robust file transfer and handsfree capability of traditional Bluetooth but also the capability to stream MP3 music files wirelessly via Bluetooth to the new generation of Bluetooth steroe headsets, such as Samsung’s own SBH100 and the Motorola HT820 Headphones.
In order to support music streaming and handsfree call handling from a Bluetooth stereo headset, the handsets support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Visual Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), which allows calls and music to be controlled from the headset. BlueCore Host Software (BCHS) is integrated into the handsets to reduce power consumption of the Bluetooth device since it implements all of the Bluetooth lower power modes such as deep sleep, helping to reduce overall device power consumption. This allows the user to take full advantage of all handset features without draining battery life.
The SGH-E750 and SGH-E760 are expected to be available on GSM networks worldwide in Q4 2005. Both tri-band handsets follow Samsung’s popular sleek clamshell design and integrate 1.3 Megapixel cameras. The SGH-E750 camera also features an integrated flash and the SGH-E760 includes a digital power amp and dual speakers for enhanced audio. Both handsets also feature new functions such as a digital compass and gesture recognition for enhanced mobile gaming.
